Course Details

Diploma in Fine Arts

Course Description

The study of Fine Arts is a process of continual debate and questioning; of exploring and interrogating set perspectives. This programme situates itself at the crossroads of contemporary Western and Asian cultures, acknowledging the demands of different worldviews. It unites specialised areas, from traditional disciplines to newer art forms, providing wider options of expression relevant to the global evolution of fine arts. You will develop your visual awareness, practical skills, and knowledge of art history and theory, beginning with improving technical skills and gradually transitioning into a more independent, self-directed studio practice. The programme is individually tailored, encouraging curiosity, fearlessness and discipline. You will practise various facets of art making, including drawing, concept development, methods and materials through practical studio coursework. You will be able to opt into disciplines ranging from Painting, Printmaking, Drawing/Graphic Novel, Art Photography, Sculpture and Time-Based Arts. You are encouraged at every stage to explore and experiment with processes, materials, ideas and expression, and to collaborate with students from other faculties at LASALLE. Emphasis is placed on 'learning through making'.
